teachingcommunication are geared towards small class sizes and are difficult to adjust for large groups ofstudents. Directly scaling this approach would require a large number of qualified instructors—i.e., to support and assess students' communication activities—at a significant cost. Someresearchers have addressed these problems by developing online writing centers, resources andtutorials for communication skills4-7 .Online peer tutoring has also been suggested as a potentialapproach8. However, these efforts are still new and further investigations are necessary.Despite the increasing efforts, a large scale survey by Reave9 found that there is still a “large gapbetween the workplace needs and graduating engineers’ communication skills.” Based onReave’s work

. Page 26.1763.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Work-in-Progress: Conflict-Driven Cooperative-Learning in Engineering Courses Abstract Conflict and cooperation would seem to be ideas that are diametrically opposed to each other. But, in fact, classic work by Piaget on how children and adults learn shows that when learners engage with peers in critical discussion of ideas concerning which they have different understandings, that contributes very effectively to learners developing deep understanding of the concepts involved. At the same time, getting students in undergraduate engineering

Students were asked to read individually and then discusstheir reading with peers. That is, students learned course related knowledge and also shared itwith other; in this way their reading comprehension and professional knowledge acquisitioncould be enhanced. In reading discussion activity, group B students recorded their notes andannotations by hand writing. Group E students could use the system to read learning materialand take digital annotations on learning content.
